Short Review
- The Maxwest Nitro 5.5 features a plastic build with dimensions of 156.2 x 78.8 x 8.7 mm and weighs 174g, making it relatively lightweight.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 200 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6572 chipset with a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing basic functionality for everyday use.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for simple selfies.
- The 2200 mAh battery offers limited longevity and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated, lacking modern features and updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in multiple colors: White, Black, Blue, Pink, and Yellow.
- Special features are minimal, with no water resistance or stereo speakers, and it includes a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the Maxwest Nitro 5.5 is a basic smartphone suitable for light usage.
